UNT System Travel Team completing UNT’s move to SAP Concur Request, Travel and Expense

HSC Team:

As a part of our strategy to increase efficiency, the entire travel and expense process has been automated using SAP Concur Request, Travel and Expense. Beginning Jan. 1, 2021, SAP Concur will replace all manual paper travel pre-approval (TBA) and travel voucher processes for employee travel pre-approval and travel expense reimbursement, as well as out-of-pocket expense reimbursement.

SAP Concur Request, Travel and Expense:

  • Automates and unifies the entire travel and expense process
  • Drives travel and expense policy compliance
  • Eliminates the need to collect, manage, store, fax or image paper receipts
  • Creates a better travel and expense process for UNT travelers
  • Provides a one stop global travel information platform for UNT travelers
  • Creates a seamless travel and expense process
  • Provides pre-populated expense reports

Training for UNT faculty and staff who travel for UNT business or seek expense reimbursement is being conducted by department throughout the fall. The Travel Team has begun reaching out to each division and college by assigned training period and will continue to do so at the beginning of each month to discuss training opportunities and scheduling.

In addition to scheduled Zoom training sessions, SAP Concur self-service travel trainings are available now through UNT World Learning:

  • SAP Concur: Request, Travel & Expense (self-paced, just in time training) — provides an in-depth look at SAP Concur, its features, capabilities and how it is being leveraged by UNT World to improve business processes.
  • SAP Concur: Request, Travel & Expense (Zoom presentation) — This class is an introduction to the Concur Request, Travel and Expense modules within Concur for departments transitioning away from the manual employee travel pre-approval (TBA) and travel reimbursement voucher process. Staff, faculty and supervisors who travel frequently, deal with travel-related matters, or seek non-overnight-stay expense reimbursements (business meals, local mileage, etc.) should attend this training.
  • SAP Concur: Approving Travel & Expense Reports — provides an in-depth look at approving Concur travel requests and Concur expense reports.
  • SAP Concur: Delegates — provides an in-depth look at the use of delegates and travel assistants within SAP Concur.
  • SAP Concur: Mobile Apps — provides an in-depth look at setting up and using SAP Concur Mobile App and how to connect other Travel Apps to your Concur profile.

As a reminder, all SAP Concur Request, Travel and Expense training must be completed by Dec. 31 as the move to the automated process takes effect Jan. 1, 2021.

Please see the tentative training schedule emailed to HSC Faculty and Staff on October 27 for more information and for links to these Bridge trainings.
